The first thousand and forty-six chapters must fight back
The little Japanese were really scared by the Third Expeditionary Army. Koizumi Toshiichiro had no choice but to increase the area and density of the minefields to prevent the Third Expeditionary Army from attacking. Now, in order to obtain a relatively stable combat environment against the United States , he decided to repeat his old trick,
Signs of a new war began to appear between the United States and Japan. At Larbu Mountain in Soviet Russia, a small group of fighter planes led by Chen Chong arrived. There was no suspense about the battle. The few aircraft that Guderian had urgently recruited were all old models. , in front of the most advanced Golden Eagle jet fighter, he was as vulnerable as an underage child. Moreover, perhaps because the air combat process was too dull, Chen Chong, who finally caught the opportunity to take off, felt that it was not enough. In the air combat After the end, Chen rushed towards the German ground targets and launched an attack, narrowly missing Guderian's frontline headquarters.
"The Chinese air force is so rampant." Guderian, who was disgraced because he was pinned to the ground by his subordinates, got up and watched the Chinese fighter planes leave. His first words were:
"The Chinese fighter planes are more advanced than ours, and the quality of their pilots is also very high. It is said that the ace of the Imperial Air Force, Hartmann, was defeated by the commander of the Chinese Air Force." A staff officer whispered,
"The ground reconnaissance has yielded no results, and the aerial reconnaissance cannot be carried out. It seems that we can only launch a strong attack. No matter what, we must knock down the arrogance of the Chinese as soon as possible." Guderian pondered for a while and said with a sullen face,
"Your Excellency, why don't we rush to Sabi directly? Your Excellency Manstein has repeatedly called for help. I think if we insist on attacking this small Chinese force, we will just fall into the trap of the Chinese." Another staff officer became bold. suggested to Guderian,
Guderian glanced at him sideways and said coldly: "I also want to rush to Sabi as soon as possible, but what will happen to our logistics supplies if we do not eliminate this Chinese movement force? Or, we leave one at every supply depot. The division's troops are used for defense."
The staff officer did not dare to answer, and just when the atmosphere at the scene became a bit cold, a communications staff officer took off the headset on his head and stood up and shouted: "Report, there is an urgent call from Durianfu, they were attacked by the Chinese." , all the oil storage tanks were destroyed, and fuel losses were heavy."
Guderian's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted: "What, say it again."
The sweat on the communication staff officer's forehead immediately dropped, and he murmured: "The Durianfu supply depot was attacked by a sneak attack, and the damage was heavy."
"This is the result of failing to clear out the Chinese reconnaissance force. Look, the Chinese have seen through the lifeline of our army. If, if the Chinese army in the mountain cannot be wiped out, if the Chinese army destroys Yana Ur's supply depot, how can we still fight then, will everyone turn into infantry?" Guderian roared, the veins on his forehead were obvious, he was obviously very angry at this news,
The scene was completely silent,
"Attack, attack now. The Chinese are huddled in the mountains and we will attack them one by one. We have enough artillery and tanks, and we will not hesitate to flatten Larbu Mountain."
Because of Guderian's strict order, the German offensive began. As Guderian said, the Germans had enough tanks and artillery, so they could launch bombardments unscrupulously. They could even use artillery to blow up the passage first, and then release the tanks. On the first day of the attack, Jiang Tiezhang was obviously unprepared for the density of German artillery fire. This resulted in the death of more than 200 people in the southward detachment in the first wave of German artillery that lasted forty minutes, including More than twenty people were buried alive by the landslide caused by the explosion, and died miserably.
After the bombardment, German tanks began to appear. In the first wave, Guderian dispatched more than 130 tanks. These tanks followed the channels opened by the artillery fire and attacked the mountains. At one point, the southward detachment was forced to abandon three peripheral defense lines in succession. And unable to organize a strong resistance,
The foundation of the southward detachment was the former Third Guerrilla Division. In the memory of the officers and soldiers of the former Third Guerrilla Division, this was the first time they fought such a useless battle. They saw German tanks rushing up unscrupulously, and the machine gunners on those tanks acted unscrupulously. They fired in all directions, looking arrogant. The leaders of several infantry regiments couldn't help but suggested to Jiang Tiezhang: "This won't work, Commander, we must fight back, otherwise our morale will be exhausted."
"How to fight back? Just rely on rocket launchers, or learn from the Japanese and use special tactics." Jiang Tiezhang could still remain calm at this time, and he asked,
"That's better than being a tortoise."
"Don't forget the goal of our mission. We don't seek to eliminate many German troops. Our purpose is just to hold them back. Guderian attaches great importance to us as never before. Isn't this what we want to see? I warned you yesterday that we must Be prepared to sacrifice, why, I can't bear it anymore."
No one said anything, but it was easy to see from their stubborn expressions that they were not convinced by Jiang Tiezhang's words.
Jiang Tiezhang had no intention of continuing to explain or enlighten. He asked a staff officer beside him: "Have you received any reply from Captain Jiang?"
"Not yet, here we come. Captain Jiang said that in one and a half hours at the latest, there will be nine Haidongqing to support us."
Jiang Tiezhang's expression was obviously relaxed and he said: "A counterattack is certain, otherwise it will not be enough to arouse Guderian's anger and attract the hatred of the Second Armored Group Army. Hum, I am very much looking forward to the Germans trying to outflank us. Then I will Give Guderian a surprise."
An hour and a half later, Guderian was dissatisfied with the advancing speed of his troops, especially the advancing speed of the 31st Infantry Division. Suddenly, a staff officer beside him who had been observing the battlefield with a telescope exclaimed: "What is that?" "
Guderian immediately picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of his finger. In the lens, a Haidongqing appeared from behind a mountain. His brows immediately furrowed, "Helicopter, a Chinese helicopter. "After that, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Let all the tanks withdraw immediately. As for the air defense troops, immediately go to the front line and tell them that no matter what methods they use, they must prevent the helicopters from lowering their flight altitude."
For the Germans, the helicopters of the Chinese army are no longer a secret, and military commanders like Guderian have a set of natural methods for helicopters. I have to admit that Guderian is indeed very good at commanding in battle. , of course, because his understanding of Haidongqing is still too superficial, so the temporary response method can only work in theory, but in practice it has little effect.
